If you've really not put in any time for independent study and have only 4 years experience on the job, you are not "average". You are below average, and apparently unaware of it. Not to mention a cancer on the industry. It's my job to make sure people like you don't pass the phone interview.

Comparing others to cancer, that's always a great display of character. There is much to unpack here, but I'll enjoy myself a bit and simply leave you with the concept "eternal September". Google, if you haven't heard of it.

I'd hire someone qualified, motivated, and hungry to improve over someone who barely scrapes by without wasting a single cycle worrying about their word choice on an internet forum.

Perhaps we have a different understanding of what constitutes "character".
